I am not getting married until March 2012 but wanna get my colors  picked out so I can start planning. I pretty much have it narrowed down to black and white but want an accent color to liven  it up a bit. I was originally thinking red but I find a nice deep red harder  to get things matching. I find alot of the reds I see in accesories are a lighter brighter red. What other colors look classy with black and white? I was looking at possibly a lime green or green apple color..and I also saw a deep pink or fuschia that I  thought would look great. Any other suggestions or anyone have pics of their own to share? Also considering its in March (March 10) what about the flowers..is there a etiquete with regardsto flowers and seasons. I like the gerber daisies as well....Anyones help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Every color goes with black and white. 

    There's no etiquette about colors, flowers, and seasons.  The only issue is that in-season flowers are less expensive than out of season.

    Choose the colors you want, and don't overthink it.  It's not that hard.

    Black/white/fuschia is very popular.  I have a friend getting married this year and she considered black/white/yellow and black/white/green but decided on black/blush pink.  I had hoped she would do the yellow because I thought it was very chic.

    Look for inspiration boards on Google--these can really help you decide.  I really like the black/white/red--it was my second choice color scheme.  I was going to have the BM dresses be black and only do red flowers and accents.

    Have you thought about venues? I know its early, but if you have your heart set on a country club or restaurant or whatever it might help you picture what would look best.

    I had this whole black, coral, and bright blue thing in my head but then we picked a nature preserve so I went white, yellow, and black.
